Re: hello
Ok, So last night charlie3 was showing us how too lvl bomb. we as a CAS squad never do this...so im here too be taught by the best...
The only question i have is this..
When setting bomber sights...I take the alt 5k and minus the alt of the target. Is that the formula for setting sights?
not sure what I think of this.. Im more than willing too learn it...
We are the 88th a low lvl cas bombing squad...we usually put up some good numbers on top 100 list for bombers. we want too learn this..thinking we can really put a hammer on the german factories...
any help from u guys will go a long way...S! thank you for the help.
S! Charlie3- great guy..ty again for listening too us freaks and helping us out...looking foward too more flights with ya....S!
I do hope too have more numbers for this over the weekend.
Again ty guys...

Re: hello
Yes sir that is pretty much it, minus the target height above sea level off the altitude you will be flying. i.e. Duss is 38m (125ft) above sea level, so minus that off 5k, so you will set your bombsights to 4962m, and set your speed to max in bombadier as well.bota11 wrote:Ok, So last night charlie3 was showing us how too lvl bomb. we as a CAS squad never do this...so im here too be taught by the best...

It would be fantastic if you and your squad would join us, we hopefully be flying this weekend. Its been a long time since we had a large formation to the factories.
Some info on our website about bombing factories. http://www.617dambusters.com/Factories.html

That's a guide one of us wrote a few years ago that gives you the basics. When we have tons of numbers and CAS as a group we sometimes do the same level bombing technique except we bomb from 1k and spread the flight out a bit to carpet bomb an entire town.
It's a great way to build teamwork within a squad because, as I'm sure you know, divebombing is more of an individual effort.
When not RDPing, my personal specialty is killing squishes by dive bombing however. Killing squishes makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Sometimes I let kiz multicrew but only when he bribes me with the choicest of sheep.
